Humus accumulation
Higher nitrogen fixation of legumes
Reduction of soil erosion
Increased carbon stocks in soil and plant
mass
Reduction of greenhouse gases
Saving of fossil fuels
Soil and climate benefit from organic farming!
www.bioland.de 4
Aim is to demonstrate that organic farming is climate-friendly and can be optimized by applying innovative farming practices
12 demonstration farms in different climate-zones adjusting their farming practices
Supported by the LIFE+ programme

High proportion of clover in crop rotation Agroforestry Composting
In the SOLMACC project Bioland is optimizing best practice through innovative procedures.
Three activities –examples of practical climate protection

Hedges and field shrubbery Energetic utilization Aim of usage
Rejuvenate and preserve Optimize recycling management
(-> compost management)
Agroforestry –CO2 sink, fossil fuel savings
www.bioland.de
Meadow cut partly from nature conservation measures Aim of usage
Obtaining grazing areas Compost for arable land
Compost management – Close cycles efficiently
